How effective is your organization’s Data Governance? It is more than data management principles and the latest DG tools. It has a lot to do with the organization’s culture. Having the latest tech does not necessarily qualify you to be DG mature.

When we have data that is accurate, reliable, secure, and accessible to the right people at the right time, we will foster a culture of data maturity within the organization. By investing in a data governance strategy, we can better position itself to take advantage of the opportunities presented by data-driven decision-making.

Here are just some of the key metrics that can be used to measure the effectiveness of data governance as follows:

Data quality metrics

Data quality metrics can be used to measure the accuracy, completeness, consistency, and timeliness of data.

Data security metrics

Data security metrics can be used to measure the organization’s ability to protect its data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.

Data compliance metrics

Data compliance metrics can be used to measure the organization’s compliance with applicable data privacy and security regulations.

Data governance process maturity metrics

Data governance process maturity metrics can be used to measure the maturity of the organization’s data governance processes.
